THIS ONE'S FOR YUUL

[twinkle_toes]

[Aang's never liked to stay still, preferring to roam around and see the sights, meet the locals. Exploring during his free time is great and all, but it doesn't help pay the grocery bills or keep the roof over his head in one piece, so he's resorted to doing odd jobs around town.

Today's mission is a delivery, a massive basket of flowers that's clearly intended for someone very special. Aang's a little envious of whoever's getting the flowers - it must be nice to have someone who cares that much - but mostly he's curious to see the recipient of this gift.

Well, he's here. Two sharp raps on the door, and now it's time to settle back and wait to see who answers.]

[One lucky recipient coming right up.

He hadn't been expecting anyone so the knock comes as a surprise. Hope you don't mind a bit of waiting, strange uninvited person on the other side of the door. Hitsugaya's going to finish drying and stacking these dumb dishes. Why did menial tasks become part of his life again.

When he does finally make his way to the door to swing it open, the sight before him is definitely not one he'd been prepared for.

A bald kid with a bunch of flowers. Okay.]

... Yes, what is it?

[twinkle_toes]

[It's rude to keep people waiting, Hitsugaya!! And Aang, being a very vivacious and lively 13 year old, has pretty much no patience whatsoever, which means that as Hitsugaya continues to wash and dry his dishes, Aang is knocking on the door repeatedly and with some insistence, having set the flower basket off to the side.

Which pays off when the door finally opens and he barely manages to avoid hitting Hitsugaya right on the nose.

Whoops.

Straightening, he flashes the white-haired dude his biggest smile and thrusts the basket of flowers right into his face.]

I have a delivery for..... [how do u pronounce this name] Hitsoogay-uh Tooshiroh-kun?

[thawless]

[First you knock on his door like a billion annoying times, then you shove flowers in his face, next you butcher his name?

Anyway, he's just going to. Push those flowers out his face and not take them, thanks very much. But a delivery? He sure as hell didn't order a bouquet and no one would have reason to send him flower-y gratitude.]

Who sent this?

[twinkle_toes]

[It's not his fault he doesn't speak Japanese!!

At the question though, he just shrugs, which is kind of hard to do when there's a huge basket in his arms. Why isn't the guy taking the flowers.....]

I'm not sure. They didn't give me their name, just told me to give these to you. [but HMMM] Maybe there's a note with their name on it?

[thawless]

[Yeah, he's not seeing any note. And he's still not taking the flowers.

Keep your weak, noodle-y arms up, Aang. HOW SUSPICIOUS, though. No sender name, but they knew his address?? Not a lot of people know his address...]

Describe to me what they looked like, then. [Are you regretting this job yet?]

[twinkle_toes]

[Why would he ever regret this job, he gets to meet such wonderful people like HITSUGAYA who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Or had someone spit in his breakfast. Either way, Aang is determined to win this guy over.

.....After they solve the mystery of the unknown sender.]

I don't really know. [He deflates a little.] They were wearing a dark cloak, with a hood over their head so I didn't really get to see their face.

[oh oh wait--]

But they definitely sounded like a guy! [....] I think.

[thawless]

[This is screaming CAUTION, BACK AWAY FROM THE FLOWERS IMMEDIATELY. Dark cloak?? Hood covering their face??

A guy? Suspicions have been amped up to a thousand and then some. Who does he need to track down and question... and why are these flowers still a thing?]

Take it back. I don't want it.

[twinkle_toes]

[BUT AANG DOESN'T WANT TO CARRY THE DARN FLOWERS ANYMORE his arms hurt now. :(

The guy's clearly not taking them though so he sighs - loudly - and sets them off to the side before pinning Hitsugaya with a very confused look.]

Why not? They're really nice! Someone obviously thinks you're a really great person.

[thawless]

[Okay, but you're not leaving them there.]

... A man wearing a dark cloak and hood to conceal his identity thinks I'm a really great person. [Deadpan.

Does that even make any sense? Aang, are you hearing what you're saying, bro.]

[twinkle_toes]

[He's not going to take them back though! Do you know how rude that would be? But Hitsugaya brings up a good point. Aang frowns, taps his chin thoughtfully as he ponders that comment.

......

.......]

Maybe he wanted it to be a surprise and didn't have enough money to buy a better disguise.

[Ding ding ding we have a winner here.]

AANG NO

[thawless]

[That pause was too long...

But what he says is worse, oh my god.]

I'm beginning to see why they chose you for this delivery.

AANG YES

[twinkle_toes]

[He'll just take that as a compliment and smile brightly, thanks.]

I really like delivering things. I get to see all the different parts of the city this way! [And isn't that just great. But anyway. He nudges the flowers closer to Hitsugaya with one foot.] So are you going to take the flowers?

[thawless]

[What, no, you're not supposed to be smiling.

[Haha, stop the movement with his own foot.]

No. Just throw them away somewhere.

[twinkle_toes]

[WHAT

That is the most ludicrous suggestion he has heard all day.]

I can't throw them away! Someone bought them for you!

[thawless]

[There are strong feelings about flowers.]

... I'll give them to you.

[twinkle_toes]

But they're not for me!

[Aang has the strongest feelings about flowers, it's true, and they're written all over his face. Hitsugaya you are breaking this bald monk kid's heart.]

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with them. I carried them all the way over here and I'm still okay.

[thawless]

[SIGHS he doesn't want to be standing on the front porch arguing about who's taking the flowers or not.

What a headache!!]

You think I should risk my health because you seem fine at the moment?

[twinkle_toes]

[gosh darn it why is this person so untrusting!]

They're just flowers. [jeez] It's not anyone's trying to poison you.

[........]

Is someone trying to poison you?

[thawless]

[And why is this guy so trusting!]

That's none of your concern. [Mind your own beeswax, delivery boy.]

[twinkle_toes]

[.........................












Long.

Pause.]

Someone is trying to poison you! [Because that's obviously the natural conclusion to that sort of statement.] How come? What happened?

[thawless]

[No, no, no. Don't pry into his personal life!!]

Okay, good day to you.

[MOVES TO CLOSE THE DOOR KEEP YOUR CREEPY FLOWERS]

[twinkle_toes]

[GETS THE DOOR SLAMMED IN HIS FACE

oh. :(

guess he needs to figure out what to do with these flowers now.]
